Sleeping long??

Question

So my daughter just turned 6 weeks and I know babies are supposed to eat every 3 to 4 hours but now she's kind of sleeping through the night maybe like 6 - 8 hours now am I supposed to wake her up to eat or do I just let her sleep because I let her sleep but I don't know if I'm supposed to wake her up to eat????

Answer

You should probably ask your baby's dr. As long as there are no concerns about weight gain, it's fine to let them sleep. My little one lost very little weight after birth and was back at his birth weight really fast. We never woke him to eat, and he he slept long stretches like that. At 9 weeks he was sleeping through the night, so obviously we didn't wake him then. But if your baby lost a lot of weight after birth and hasn't regained it, or if dr is concerned about weight gain, you'd still need to wake to feed.
